Michael Steele and Lindsey Graham Lose Their Way. Vote Them Out!

Republican idiocy seems to come in twos. I commented during the Haiti
Earthquake about Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson both making asses of
themselves for their insensitive, politicized comments during that
tragedy. Now it's happening again and this time it's just plain dumb.
Michael Steele this week sounded like a liberal who thought George Bush
was still in office when he opined "This is a war of Obama's Choosing."
and that Afghanistan was a war "which the United States never really
wanted to engage in." Lindsey Graham, who apparently wants to lose his
senate seat made a statement in which he derides the Tea Party movement as "a fad"
and ultimately "unsustainable."

Now, Michael Steele,
the RNC Chairman, should know better. He has criticized members of his
own party in the past for such poorly worded diatribes. If you remember
some months back, Steele went after a local Republican group, after it
posted pictures of Obama, Pelosi, and others as evil characters from
comics and movies, most notably Obama as the joker. Now, it seems,
Steele has completely lost his mind and decided that supporting our
troops is no longer a viable option, and the best course of action would
be to politicize the war in Afghanistan, just to add more fuel to the
fires of discontent with President Obama. This shows a complete
disconnect with his voter base, and his peers. Some of those peers are
calling for his resignation.

Which brings us to Lindsey
Graham. Here is a man who clearly is out of touch with the voters. The
Tea Party movement has become a firestorm of disenchanted citizens who
clearly want a change in Washington, and are willing to fight to get it.
In recent weeks we have seen numerous candidates for Congress, and the
Senate get the nomination, despite having little political experience,
and in some cases, without their own parties support, simply because
they have a Tea Party endorsement, or an endorsement from a Tea Party
luminary like Sarah Palin. Dear Lindsey, Start packing! You are probably
going to be dropped like a hot potato next election cycle, so think
about your retirement plans now. Michael Steele might want to consider
his options as well.

The political landscape is
changing rapidly. A new level of consciousness is arising in the average
voter. They are more passionate, more informed, and more willing than
ever to take action to see that real 'change' comes to Washington.
Regardless of your party affiliation you are not safe from criticism,
not safe from being ejected from your seat by this newly enlightened
voter base. The very fact that business men and women, former CEO's, and
even an unemployed veteran looking for a Democratic nomination were the
one's chosen by the people to represent them. Which was the way
Washington used to run, before our Republic became infested with money
loving, special interest pandering career politicians.

Ignorance
and slips of the tongue used to be forgivable. But right now, the
people are demanding perfection. Why? Because each day more people are
getting laid off, those who have been unemployed for months are losing
their unemployment benefits with no hope of an extension, and no hope of
finding work in sight. The government is making promises it can not
keep, and short changing us on the one's they do. We are spending money
at record levels, yet the situation is not improving, regardless of what
the White House or the MSM say. Those of us on the streets are seeing
the devastation first hand. We are living in this economy, and we are
hurting.

It's time to wake up America. Time to get out
their and do your part to help. Let's get this country back on track so
our children don't grow up in an America that looks like a third-world
country, or a science fiction post apocalyptic nightmare ala Mad Max. We
can do it, and the folks in the trenches like the Tea Party Protesters
are proving every day, that this is of
the people, by the people,
for the people.

If I am who I think I am, and If you are who I think you are, and you are who you think you are, and we both know that we are thinking that we know what we think we know, and we have thought about this all before we knew that we knew it, than perhaps we know who we are, and I know you and you know me, and we all live in an alien spacecraft under the sea.
